The real heroes are the people who get up for work every morning, day after day, year after year, decade after decade, putting in their full time, putting up with all kinds of crap, doing their best to get through and give the best for their kids. Oh yeah, and pay their taxes through the nose.

People like your parents and your grandparents. These real heroes practice true self sacrifice, and do not get painted by the media as heroes deserving of worship. Most importantly, they do not deserve to get ripped off and shaken down by government insiders, no matter what kind of drama and self-justification they try to cook up.

Yes, we've been hearing repeatedly for the last 15 years from the Fed that the world is about to end. All that ever happens is that taxpayer money is given for free to banker buddies that just stupidly lost zillions. And our children and their children have to pay for it.

Banks can risk anything they want. When they win, they make tons. When they lose, they lose nothing, since American taxpayers got their back, orchestrated by the Fed and Washington. This latest threat means its been a year or two since those idiot bankers- who have a license to create money out of thin air- have made a mess again. And to prevent the world from ending again, we got to bail them out again.

Which means the Fed has to print money again. Which means our food and tuition and medical and fuel and power and insurance and tuition are about to soar all over again. And we get to pretend that this candidate or that candidate will make a difference. Keeps us appeased.

Let's knock down some buildings around public square and turn them into surface parking lots. It was good enough to add to the beauty of the city despite ordinances to the contrary for the last 50 years, it's good enough for us now

What's shocking is that the PD routinely echoes press releases from Yun. Yun has been consistently wrong. A terrible statistic is here reported as though it were good news. And per NAR, the full happy days are always 6-9 months from whatever point of time we happen to be standing in.

Yayyy! Inflation makes things more expensive! Americans pay more for retail gasoline and food! The fact that things cost more is a sign of a good economic outlook! Up is down! In is out! Every thangs gonna be all reet, just hope prices keep soaring!

Really, Daprobowler, you Republicans seem to think that all you have to do is sing tra la la and everything is bright and gay. Please tell us which specific gas station retailer in the Cleveland area features gas prices the same as they were 40 months ago And please let us know which specific retailer grocery in the Cleveland area features beef and dairy at the same prices they were 40 months ago... and feature packaged foods at the same price and volume/weight they were 40 months ago.

You won't tell us, daprobowler because like your buddy Georgie Bush you care nothing about working families. You won't tell us, because like your buddy Boehner all you can think of is spending and printing more money, so that we in the middle class watch the value of our paychecks go down, while we are watching prices of food, fuel, gas, insurance, tuition, medical, go up up up.

Of course retailers are taking in more money. Gas prices are almost triple what they were three years ago, so gas stations are making more money. Food prices are almost double, so groceries are taking in more money.

Congress and the Fed is creating more money out of thin air, so it cost more money to buy the same goods.

To earthlings, that fact that things cost more is a bad thing, especially when they have no jobs or haven't seen real raises in some years.. To bizarro media, apparently soaring inflation is apparently a cause for celebration.

This is problematic for the Detroit automakers. They used to sell lots of SUVs and pickups with very large margins. Now they sell little cars with little margins. And they're not making it up on volume compared to peak years.

Do we drive through certain sections of the Cleveland area and call this city -Country, or -Country? Has anyone from the PD asked the Mennonites how they like their homes being called "Amish Country?" Do we have fun bus trips through Cleveland guaranteeing an interesting tour through such and such Country?

Yes, baby, you have the highest tax rate and the highest property tax rates, and for it you get the best government, the best political party, and the best contractor BFEs money can buy. Yes, baby, you got your wish on state issue 2, now enjoy paying for government of the employees, by the employees, and for the employees.

There are two or three groups touring around the country giving concerts this year, and each one is an official "Trans-Siberian Orchestra." This is how multiple concerts are given in different cities the same weekends. The media pretends this isn't the case.

So which team does Cleveland get? The A or B or C TSO? I'm guessing not the A- if we were on the A list, an anonymous band that does no touring the rest of the year would have been at a venue performing Christmas music before Christmas, not after.
